Chapter 26: Virtue

Views:

Li Mubai waved his hand suddenly, and the driver of the car was dragged up by a breeze and landed on the side of the road lightly.

Li Daru grabbed the reins of the horse, drove the car himself, and said slowly: "This is a horse of a thousand miles, and it can travel thousands of miles a day."

An astonishing scene happened. The puller was an ordinary brown horse, but at this moment, it suddenly neighed excitedly.

Beneath the brown skin, tendons bulged, the body swelled, and in the blink of an eye, it was nearly twice the height of an ordinary horse.

Li Mubai's carriage drove away.

Zhang Shen snorted coldly: "You go down too."

He sent the driver to the side of the road, took his place, grabbed the reins, and said solemnly, "This horse is big and strong, not only a thousand-mile horse, but also six legs."

The same mutation happened again, and the black horse, like its kind, had a swollen body and knotted muscles.

The difference is that the flesh and blood in its abdomen are separated, the bones are growing, and the nerves are intertwined to grow two new horse legs.

The black horse was flying with six hooves, raising a cloud of dust, and it came first, catching up with Li Mubai's carriage.

"Old thief, you are too shameless, how can there be a six-hoofed horse." Li Mubai was furious.

"I say there is."

"Okay, then my horse has eight hooves."

"Hmph, the shameless old thief insists on robbing me of a disciple, right? My carriage is as light as thin paper and flies with the wind!"

A gust of wind blew, and Zhang Shen's carriage was as light as a tissue paper, drifting into the distance with the wind.

Not to be outdone, Li Mubai shouted, "My carriage will ride the clouds."

A mass of white clouds came into being on the ground, stuck to the wheels of the carriage, and sent the carriage to the sky.

Xu Pingzhi stared at this scene in astonishment, until the two carriages disappeared into the sky and swallowed:

"Readers can really brag."

Xu Xinnian looked at the sky, yearning in his heart, and muttered: "This is not bragging, this is the five qualities of Confucianism: virtue!"

It also has another name, which comes from the mockery of Mr. Jianzheng after drinking: Confucianism and literature are chaos!

Penitentiary Prison.

Xu Qi'an was wearing shackles, sitting cross-legged on the tattered straw mat, with his back against the cold wall.

Smelling the cold, dank, rotten smell in the air, it was as if he had returned to the prison of the government office.

According to the information previously read from the archives, there are countless examples of the capital yamen bullying men and women. These bad things were not passed on to the emperor's old man's ears, and they were suppressed.

Isn't that the reason why Shangdatian listens to four words as heavy as Mount Tai

But this is the period of the capital inspection. Are you not afraid of political enemies attacking and destroying? Xu Qian sighed: "Kill me quickly, and then use the whole family's life to force the second uncle to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, won't it be settled?"

"I was wrong. The middle class has been nourished, but as long as those big people are provoked once, it will be forever."

"To live like a human being, I have to have power and strength."

When the iron gate at the end of the corridor opened, footsteps sounded from far to near, not long after, a jailer led two armored soldiers with knives to the fence.

"I'll take you to dinner." The jailer smiled mockingly.

After he opened the door, instead of going in, he took a step back and shouted, "Come out."

The two armored soldiers held the hilt of the sword with both hands, their eyes guarded.

Although wearing special shackles and shackles, the opponent is still a martial artist at the peak of refining, and if they fight beasts in desperation, a few of them will also be in danger.

"You'd better be honest and cooperate with us. You don't want us to shoot through your tendons and drag you out."

Xu Qi'an was silent for a moment, then got up

Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was at his desk to handle affairs, and the files and documents were piled up like a mountain.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, and looked up at the window.

A short while later, two shadows came quickly, and the outlines became clearer and clearer. They were two carriages, one riding the breeze and the other flying through the clouds.

The two carriages drove side by side, scrambling for the first, and landed in the courtyard of the Xingbu Yamen together.

At the moment when the majestic horse fell to the ground, it finally fell to the ground with exhaustion. It seemed that all its vitality had been drained, and it twitched to death.

The officers of the Xingbu Yamen immediately surrounded him.

Sun Shangshu, who was wearing a red robe, frowned and greeted him. He had a square face with Chinese characters, and when he frowned, there was a seriousness.

"Brother Chunjing, brother Jinyan, what are you two doing to my punishment department?"

Sun Shangshu can still look forward to it. Although the battle between Guozijian and Yunlu Academy has been around for a long time, the presence of the two great scholars together is enough for him to put on a correct attitude.

Zhang Shen cupped his hands and said solemnly, "The Ministry of Punishment arrested one of my disciples today, called Xu Qi'an, please let Sun Shangshu release him."

Caught the students of Yunlu Academy

Sun Shangshu said: "The Ministry of Punishment has the power to manage prisons and will not arrest people for no reason. Please make it clear."

He did not immediately agree, although Guozijian suppressed Yunlu Academy in official circles and couldn't lift his head, that was because Guozijian was a government-run academy.

Yunlu Academy is naturally no match for Guozijian, the court does not need your people, what can you do

But this does not mean that Yunlu Academy is a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will. Yunlu Academy masters the Confucian practice system and is a holy place in the hearts of students all over the world.

The college gentlemen are notorious for guarding their shortcomings, so as long as they don't actually commit rape and criminal offenses, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment will not take the initiative to find fault.

Without waiting for the two great Confucians to speak, several officers rushed over in a panic and said loudly: "Master Shang Shu, a group of Si Tianjian's white clothes came from outside, and they forced their way into the yamen. We can't stop it."

Sun Shangshu and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment who were present followed the sound, and a group of disciples from Sitianjian, fluttering in white clothes, rushed into the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

The head is a man with a chest embroidered on a pill furnace, thick eyebrows, a high nose, and dark circles under his eyes that seem to last all year round.

Song Qing, the fourth disciple of Sitianjianjianzheng.

Sun Shangshu's brows furrowed at the aggressive arrogance of the other party, and he shouted, "You have violated the law by trespassing on the punishment department, so don't retreat quickly."

Song Qing stopped, bowed, and said lightly, "Lord Shang Shu, we are here to ask for someone from the Ministry of Punishment."

Hearing this, Sun Shangshu's heart jumped, and he had a guess, and said solemnly: "Who?"

"Xu Qi'an, was just arrested by the Ministry of Punishment for no reason today."

It's Xu Qi'an again, who is this holy person, and at the same time attracts the great scholar of Yunlu Academy and the white robe of Si Tianjian.

In Dafeng, no one wants to offend Jianzheng. Even Yunlu Academy, a self-proclaimed Confucian orthodox, was ridiculed by the drinking-loving Jianzheng for violating the law. Convince people.

"What's the matter? Who is Xu Qi'an? Why have I never heard of this character."

"You are ignorant, do you know about the tax and silver case, Xu Qi'an was the one who solved the case."

"But this person is just a warrior, how can he be related to Confucianism and Si Tianjian?"

"Strange, why are we arresting him?"

The officials of the Ministry of Justice who came to watch them whispered.

Sun Shangshu beckoned and called an official of the Ministry of Punishment and asked, "Is the Ministry of Punishment arresting a prisoner named Xu Qi'an today?"

The official replied in a low voice, then ran away in a hurry, and came back with a stack of papers.

"Lord Shang Shu, Xu Qi'an is not included in the arrest document."

No? Sun Shangshu's face sank.

"Who's going to catch people?"

"This subordinate official knows." The official rolled his eyes and aimed at a green robe in the crowd, "It's Huang Langzhong."

Swish one after another cast his eyes over.

After returning to the Punishment Department, the one who had only had time to drink a sip of tea and hadn't claimed credit to the waiter, Huang Lang, who was wearing a green robe, felt cold in the center.

ps: Sitting in front of the computer after get off work, typing, typing, and then falling asleep without knowing what was going on. Delayed update.

Sorry, I'm a little tired today.
